Courage

How do we truly become ourselves? Many paths lead us to who we are today and who we will become with the hope of, one day, becoming the person we aspire to be. We need the daring and the guts to hold firm to our convictions, even if it seems the whole world is against us. Perhaps even more difficult, we need the courage to change some of our own beliefs that have become obsolete or even proven wrong as it relates to who we are becoming and want to become. It takes courage to stand up to others, but it takes a really different kind of courage to stand up to that voice inside of us that says this is the way I’ve always done this– or the way my parents always did this– or how I was brought up — or… and it continues. I’m not there yet, but I  keep trying.
